Scott Sower founded SSARCO of TX (Scott Sower Architects Collaborative) to focus on client relationships, quality documentation, and value-driven design. Before SSARCO, Scott spent nearly 27 years at Good Fulton & Farrell Architects (now GFFdesign) in Dallas.
During his tenure at GFFdesign, Scott advanced to Principal in 2007 and led a studio that ranged from 8 – 16 members. Throughout his career, Scott has led, managed, and designed several projects, including office, automotive, fitness, restaurant, mixed-use, and multi-family.

SSARCO is passionate about design and understands that design does not stop with the concept. Excellent design comes from the execution of thousands of seemingly small decisions made throughout Construction Administration and even into Owner Occupancy. This is why we are in constant pursue of an outcome that transcends the normal client experience.

We are proud of our ability to take on challenging projects without compromising on quality. Having a central team managing the design process enables us to meet deadlines within budget.
LISTEN: The scope is such a personal thing to clients. Beyond having a thorough grasp of the program, it is important to listen intently to how the client describes the scope, asking thoughtful questions, and following up with examples of what we heard.
COLLABORATE: Design is a hands-on, involved process, not something that happens in a vacuum. It is an iterative collaborative process that develops organically. A mentor suggested that we did not want to do Architecture to the client but take them on a journey through the process.
COMMUNICATE: Regardless of whether it is verbal, graphic, or written, communication is the key to every successful enterprise. It’s imperative that we develop thorough meeting notes, produce excellent documents, and guide the General Contractor through the Construction Administration process. Design doesn’t stop when Construction Documents start. It happens throughout the entire process.
